‘Full Metal Jacket’, directed by Stanley Kubrick, is a multi-layered film which is particularly effective in developing motifs through mise-en-scene, dialogue, and symbolism.

During the 1980s, rock music was needing a taste of something new. Hair metal was becoming inauthentic and only seemed to attract whatever it could, whether it was money or women. Rock music needed to be saved (Sommer). Rock did not have many fresh styles or sounds since the emergence of British bands such as The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Enter Nirvana.
